The coaching seed was planted. Coach Ralph had never considered himself to be a marathoner. The distance was well out his comfort zone. Having missed qualifying for Boston by just over 3 minutes in his first marathon, a fire was lit. He may be able to do this. Determined to qualify, he reviewed his race performance and training plan to assess what to do differently to improve his chances for BQ success the next time. He realized that even though the course appeared to be relatively flat, there were plenty of stretches with rolling hills. Once a week he added a hill circuit to his training program. To stay strong towards the end of the race, he incorporated progression runs. A year later at Marine Corp Marathon, he qualified for Boston and improved his time by 13 minutes to finish in 3:01.

Has your running reached a plateau? Do you struggle with race day strategy? Do you finish just outside of cracking the Top 3 in your age group in local races? Why do other runners pass me in the late stages of a race? How do I achieve a strong finishing kick? How do I improve my speed without sacrificing my endurance? I trained hard but I still missed my BQ time, what am I doing wrong? I have tried running slow to get faster but I am not faster. I've run a few half marathons, am I ready to run a marathon?
